I was gonna say too, PICS!!!
Show us what you mean. Hey Troy, any links to a serpentine conversion thread?

afaik the only block that is different is the au blocks,
was the one you mention cast with 96da or vr1 instead of wr2 ? |

will check the number out tomorow, whologhan has my camera at the moment and i pulled the engine out of the el, im not stupid i do it for a living and the webing on the front of the block rhs doesnt let ya bolt up the eb alternator bracket but it was fine on the ef motor it came of that was in the eb, i will send pics of another engine block as the customer picked the car up yesterday, when i asked the older guy at work who has been doing it for 35 years and he told me that in the last of the el's the webing changed there, he has had to do it a number of times, when whologan gives me back my camera i will be sure to post the pics. basically when you try to bolt it up your bolt that passes through the bracket and timing cover it is out by about a cm cause it wont sit flush with the side of the block. believe me this is what i had to do

yea im not saying you dont know..
ive seen a few late el's that had 96da on the block,hybrid head. ect..and had the same set up as ef. but i have seen a 98 el that had vr1 cast on the block... im wondering if the one in mention was one of these blocks????. |

i was talking to the old fella today and he said its only the very last of the el's that had these blocks and he couldt remember wether they had the v or 96 starting, next time the car comes back in i will check the id code im guessing it started with v but either way it came out of a stock el wag and it hadnt even had the head done, on it it was a 96da head on the engine before it was swaped to the 94ab as requested by the customer (some people get ideas in ther head that no matter what you say you cant change there mind) and he didnt want the serpentine belt either, also forgot to mention that there is a difference in the ea-d timing covers the early ones take a flat gasket at the top of the cover were it seals to the head and the eb-au have a groove in the top for the rubber seal to sit into, so i gues there is a difference in the timing covers

Correct about the 2 different timing cover top seals.
I remember looking at the gasket kits to see the differences. One is broad and flat, the othe is skinny to sit in a groove. This is geting me interested cos I know the "hybrid" motor was very obscure so to speak with details of it's design. As far as I knew it was an EL block (as ea-el is normally) with au spinning gear and head. But obviously there is a block adaption too at some stage... It's all educational to me...

The later and most of the ef onwards up to au only a single thread in the timing covers because the tensioners only have a single thread, but the pre ef-ea had twin threads on the tensioner and in the timing cover, so the tensioners arent interchangabe beetween the covers |

My buddy is just scratching his head, as I type this, trying to work out how the TPS from the EL throttle body. Apparently there are something like 2 x TPS on the EL type and only 1 on the EA type?
Any ideas? |

in the 6 cyl all eb 2,ed,ef and el have 1 tps, only ea and eb1 with 4 speed auto have 2 tps, 1 is for engine ecu and other is for trans ecu..
from eb2 onwards the trans ecu was built into the engine ecu therefore only needing 1 tps |

(bare with me) we could get away with just hooking up the 1? The correct one? Just not sure how to proceed as I have an EA with EL motor and BBM sitting in it. The ECU has a J3, also so wont have a smartlock drama |

ok..
what engine ecu are you running?? what engine loom are you running? and does your car still have the ea trans ecu still fitted?? |

ok, then you need to either mod it to run both tps or try split the signal from the single tps to both engine ecu and trans ecu by joining the wires from 2 into 1...

Joining the wires 2 into 1 is easy to do.. but this will not cause any drama? No smoke and flames? Wont make unwanted connections? |
